A vertically oriented manuscript illumination on parchment depicts Saint Augustine, an older man with light skin tone standing in a hilly landscape. He wears a tall, pointed white and gold miter and a dark robe under a blue and gold mantle, holding a gold crosier. An architectural frame with patterned columns surrounds the scene under a red label. Below, thirteen lines of Latin text begin with a red decorative initial.
